These are the 40 most eligible people in New York City, according to the dating app Hinge

New York City is never accused of being a place where people are too eager to settle down.

Still, for many New Yorkers, life eventually reaches a point where the time comes for a more serious relationship. And the dating app Hinge, which has gone through some changes of its own, wants to help.

Hinge, which initially existed as a Tinder for your friends-of-friends, launched a new app last fall that is supposed to focus more on relationships (versus hookups). That means less swiping, more of a social-media vibe, and a $7-a-month fee for the full feature set.

To show off the new app's potential, Hinge has put together a list of the 40 most eligible people in New York City. Hinge based the list on how much interest each person's profiles received coupled with success in career and formal education.
